Glissando Exercises

Anyone can play a gliss on the harp! Simply run your finger along the strings and you instantly have one of the most recognizable sounds of the harp. But what about playing glisses within repertoire? Suddenly there are all kind of details and complexities to coordinate. Glissando Exercises by Jacqueline Pollauf gives you a chance to build your gliss skills, beginning with simple ascending and descending glisses and moving on to overlapping glisses, crossing glisses, and multiple glisses in one hand. The exercises also focus on equalizing skills, so that you will be comfortable using either hand while being precise with the range and rhythm of the gliss. Glissando Exercises, written for either lever or pedal harp, follows the same incremental approach as the other highly-regarded exercise books by Jacqueline Pollauf: Pedal Exercises for Harp and Exercises in Harmonics.
